Calculate METs for Walking
Introduction & Importance
Calculating METs (Metabolic Equivalents of Task) for walking is crucial for understanding the intensity of your physical activity and its impact on your health. METs are a universal measure of physical activity intensity, with one MET being the energy expended at rest. Walking at a faster pace increases your METs, indicating higher exertion and greater health benefits.
